Imperial Palace, imperial garden.
In the pavilion with yellow curtains, there was an octagonal table made of yellow Rosewood. A yellow robe and a green robe sat on the table.
Wei Yuan and Emperor Yuan jing were about the same age. One had a ruddy complexion and a head full of black hair, while the other had long graying hair, his eyes containing the vicissitudes of life that had settled over the years.
If men were to be compared to wine, Emperor Yuan jing would be the most glamorous and honorable pot. In terms of taste, Wei Yuan would be the most mellow and fragrant.
The two of them were talking.
Emperor Yuan jing looked at the White chess piece that Wei Yuan took and sighed, ‘
after King Huai’s fall, the Northern Territory lost its pillar of support. The barbarians won’t be able to cause any trouble for a while. However, if the witchcraft cult of the northeast detoured around the Northern Territory and entered the pass from Chuzhou, they would be able to attack the capital city and kill the Dragon!
As he spoke, Emperor Yuan jing placed his piece. With the crisp sound of the chess piece hitting the chessboard, the situation suddenly changed. The White pieces formed a sharp sword and headed straight for the big dragon. “Tsk, Wei Qing seems to be a little absent-minded today.”
Wei Yuan’s gaze was gentle as he picked up a black piece and said, ” the sky-supporting pillar is too tall and too big to control. When it collapses, it will hurt others and hurt yourself.
It was a light move.
The two of them chatted while playing chess. After four or five moves,
Emperor Yuan jing said lightly, ”
“A few days ago, the Crown Prince was assassinated and everyone in the inner palace was in danger. The Empress also suffered some shock and did not eat or sleep well during this time. Wei Qing ah, catch the assassin as soon as possible and let this matter pass. Then the Empress will not need to be afraid.”
Wei Yuan looked at the board and admitted defeat. He slowly let out a breath, “”Your Majesty’s chess skills are getting better.”
Then, he stood up and took a few steps back. He bowed and said, “”lt’s my fault. I will do my best to catch the assassin as soon as possible.”
Emperor Yuan jing burst out laughing.
At the same time, in the inner Pavilion.
A middle-aged eunuch in a Python robe came to the Wen Yuan Pavilion with two eunuchs to pay his respects to the first assistant, Wang zhenwen.
They didn’t stay for too long. After a quarter of an hour, the head eunuch left with the two eunuchs.
The chief advisor Wang zhenwen sat behind the table with an expressionless face. He did not move for a long time, like a silent statue.
The next day, Emperor Yuan jing was still arguing with the officials about the Chu Zhou case, but it was not as intense as yesterday. The whole Hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Although there was still no conclusion to today’s court session, it ended in a relatively peaceful manner.
Zheng xinghuai, who had been in the government for a long time, smelled a trace of uneasiness. He knew that the problem he was worried about yesterday had finally appeared.
In the court meeting, although the Lords still refused to give in, they did not insist on convicting North vanquishing Prince as they did yesterday.
In fact, when the nobles suggested how to eliminate the rumors in the capital and change the view of the 20000 soldiers of Chuzhou on this matter, some civil officials participated in the discussion in the name of scolding.
What pained Zheng xinghuai the most was Wei Yuan and Wang zhenwen’s silence.
